With 16,400 sq feet on three decks tall, it's the first room by its volume and the second one by its floor area. It can fit 876 spectators divided into 219 four-seats-sofa with table groups, 150 on first floor and 69 on balcony. Every spectator has at his disposal an exceptional space, the room never seeming crowned even when it's full. The room has 12 entrance/exit (6 on each level) among these 4 directly to the outside of the ship to allow a quick evacuation in the case of fire. The two main entrances are located in the atrium for an easy access. The decoration is mainly made up with varnished copper and fireproof wood panels with a sweet and warm ambiance provided by materials and lighting. The large stage (about 1075 sq. feet, 65 ft long and 16,5 ft wide with a balcony) is built between the two artists wings which adjoin directly with the large dressing room and artists staterooms the deck just below. The theatre is fitted with the latest production show equipment. As this is a very large and high volume room, it is located above the main constraint's structure of the ship, located among the seven decks below. However, to rigidify the room itself and to support the weight of the installations on the decks above, the whole metallic structure of the balcony floor with its two passageways on each sides and the bulkheads are designed to be strong enough. To divide this large space in case of fire, 4 sliding  roller shutters (rolled near the 2 side fire collectors, using a mid-height guide girder to be deployed, not represented here) can be automatically shut to constitute a fireproof bulkhead.  And now, switch off the lights, the show is starting...
